Rock legends The Doors are set to release highlights from their last tour as part of a new three CD box set.

Rare audio from the band's early and late shows on April 10, 1970, at Boston Arena will be featured on 'The Doors' Live In Boston '70,' which is slated for release in July.
Although a handful of live tunes from the final tour appeared on the group's 'Absolutely Live' album, the Boston shows are virtually unheard.

The liner notes for the upcoming package include memories from the surviving members of the band.

Drummer John Densmore recalls frontman Jim Morrison being extremely drunk for the show: "A Surgeon General's warning should be stickered on this recording, because Jimbo is ripped... but he is so damn passionate and still hits all the cues with the band, so all I can say is 'In Vino Veritas' (in wine is the truth)."


As always, comments are welcome.
